Yesterday we enjoyed a quintessential summer day. Tony and I had the sleepy kids loaded into the car by 6:45 and we were off to Porcupine Bay. Just driving through Davenport brings back so many childhood memories. Our favorite breakfast spot, "Ellie's", has been replaced by a Mexican Restaurant so we stopped for pancakes at the Davenport Inn. Breakfast out is my favorite way to start a day.
It wasn't a particularly warm day, so the crowds were low. The kids spent the whole morning catching polywogs and burying themselves in the warm sand. We took Mom and Dad to the cove at the end of the river and spent an hour skipping rocks and skiing. Cooper got up for just a minute on the wakeboard and we were very proud of him for trying. We were glad to have Addy, Lane and Kimball with us, even if Kimball insisted on wearing his favorite swimming suit, a Snoopy Speedo! We also discoverd that Cocoa Rice Krispies make terrible Rice Krispy Treats.
I felt grateful to have access to such a beautiful place, grateful that the boat worked without a hitch and of course especially thankful for a "ready made family reunion" every weekend at the lake.
